The document provides specifications for building a snowman from two students, Frankie and Albert. Frankie's basic specifications are that a snowman must be white, made of snow, and have a round shape and carrot nose. Albert provides more detailed and rigorous specifications that include the materials used, aesthetics, size, and function. Albert's specifications include categories like limited, adequate, substantial, and rigorous. The document suggests Albert's specifications are better because they are more descriptive and easier to evaluate snowmen against. It also provides an example of a personal project specification template to help students create their own rigorous specifications.
